The contract for the construction ot

day awarded to the lowest of tho three
bidders, tho Hawaiian Ballasting Co.,
a Japanese concern of which K. Mat

Tills concern's bid was for 155,750,
but some modifications have been
made In tho plans In order to make

which will Bhavo down the contract

pected, however, that tho features
which have been cut' out at present
will bo added to the buildings later on,
probably before tho construction has
been completed.

teems to wish to'shtft blame. It Is
probable that laukea will not be call
ed before the jury again, but this Is
hardly true of Townsend, who will
probably be recalled
'"isoi, tho nole-gWr, has been sub
